In this activity, learners explore how nanotechnology is being used to create new types of protective fabrics.

Learners will compare the growth rate and appearance of crystals forming on small rocks to those growing on miscellaneous objects. Learners will also investigate how temperature (warm vs.

In this health activity (located on page 4 of the PDF), learners will discover the importance of hand washing by observing mold growing on potatoes.

In this activity, learners explore the relationship between electric charges and magnetic fields.

This is a quick activity (located on page 2 of the PDF under Nasturtium Leaves Activity) about surface tension.

In this outdoor biology and math activity, learners estimate the size of a population of organisms too numerous to count.

In this activity, learners construct a simple game to test their hand-eye coordination and steadiness of hand.

In this activity, learners build models of atoms and molecules, then consider their role in different phases of matter, density, and mixtures and solutions.

In this introductory demonstration and activity, learners are introduced to the concept of density as they explore a rock and a wooden block in water.

In this quick activity, learners observe how the added sugar in a can of soda affects its density and thus, its ability to float in water.

This activity introduces the idea that computer scientists measure information by how "surprising" a message is.

In this math game, learners try to earn the most points by winning stacks of four dice. Learners practice number recognition and addition skills.

In this activity, learners investigate the properties of different types of balls.

In this activity, learners confront their perceptions of gravity in the solar system.

In this outdoor beach activity, learners use a variety of "beaks" (such as trowels, spoons or sticks) to hunt for organisms that shore birds might eat.

This is an activity (located on page 4 of the PDF under Surface Area Activity) about surface area and reactivity.

In this activity, learners make models representing bones on Earth and bones that have been in space. They discover what happens to bones without proper exercise and nutrition.

This is an activity which will allow learners to gain an understanding of lemur behavior through observation and role play.

In this activity, learners explore how the power of the sun can be harnessed to heat and cool a building.

In this activity, learners explore how wind energy can be generated on both a large and small scale.
